Private Shore Excursion from Cobh (Cork) to Blarney Castle and Kinsale

8 hours

Moderate

Your Guide will meet you at the cruise terminal ( full Meeting Instructions will be sent with your excursion voucher 4 weeks before your tour). During your tour, your guide will provide local information and details of the places you will be visiting

Your shore tour departs from your ship at the port of Cobh/Cork or Ringaskiddy first heading for Blarney Castle where you will have up to 2 hours free. That's plenty of time to Kiss the legendary Blarney stone, explore the amazing gardens, take in some shopping at the famous Blarney Woollen Mills.

After our visit to Blarney we will enjoy a panoramic driving tour through Cork city centre taking in famous landmarks such as The Shandon Bells and The English Market and learning all about the fearsome Vikings and Anglo Normans in Cork.

The next leg of our trip will be through picturesque rolling Irish countryside as we meander our way to the charming village of Kinsale dubbed "Ireland's Gourmet Capital". Perfect for lunch!

++Porting at Ringaskiddy? No problem, our tour departs from here as well.+++
